We all think we’re smarter than the things that break people.

That we’d never love too much.
Never stay too long.
Never lose ourselves trying to keep someone.
Never become that person.

And then life happens.
Love happens.

And suddenly you’re doing the exact things you once judged in others.
Waiting. Hoping. Overthinking. Staying soft where you swore you’d be careful.

That’s when life humbles you.

Not by ruining you.
Just by showing you that you were never the exception.

Just human.
Just as foolish.
Just as fragile.
Just as capable of love making you forget every clever thing you once believed.
